Examples

On either side of the anus, in the ischio-rectal space, D D, Fig. 1, Plate 51, is found a considerable quantity of granular adipose tissue, traversed by the inferior haemorrhoidal arteries and nerves-branches of the pudic artery and nerve.

When it is requisite to divide the superficial and deep sphincter ani as in the operation for complete fistula in ano, if the incision be made transversely in the ischio-rectal fossa, the haemorrhoidal arteries and nerves converging towards the anus will be the more likely to escape being wounded.

The collateral circulation will then be carried on by the anastomosis of the following branches -- viz., those of the lumbar, the internal mammary, and the epigastric arteries of that side with each other, and with their fellows in the anterior abdominal parietes; those of the middle and lateral sacral; those of the superior with the middle and inferior haemorrhoidal; those of the aortic and internal iliac uterine branches in the female; and of the aortic and external iliac spermatic branches in the male.
